Abstract

Despite the rapid growth in the number of dialysis patients ⩾65, relatively few of these patients are receiving transplants. Dusseux et al. present a simple scoring system that helps to identify a group of such patients with a higher survival rate on dialysis. They suggest that such a screening tool might help to identify older patients for more comprehensive transplant assessment.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 July 2015.
All research outputs
#8,533,995
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Kidney International
#3,580
of 7,403 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#95,124
of 277,602 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Kidney International
#61
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,403 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 277,602 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
